Shot By Both Sides

(Cover Magazine)

This and that, they must be the same
What is legal is just what's real
What I'm given to understand
Is exactly what I steal

I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot by both sides
On the run to the outside of everything
Shot by both sides
They must have come to a secret understanding

New offences always in my nerves
They're taking my time by force
They all sound the same when they scream
They have to rewrite all the books again
As a matter of course

'Why are you so edgy, kid?'
Asks the man with the voice
One thing follows another
You live and learn, you have no choice

I don't ask who's doing the shooting
Shot by both sides
We must have come to a secret understanding
We must have come to a secret understanding
